Red Hook is, I think, the only bottled beer you can get from the general store at the Gorge. Which is why the only time I ever drink it is at Sasquatch. Feels like a downgrade even after drinking warm High Life that has been sitting in tepid water for three days.

I don't mind red hook. I bought it willingly, wanting something from the PNW. Here in SoCal craft beer means something different.

I will be hitting up lots of craft brew in San Diego next weekend. What do you mean by something different J-Dawg?
Well, as an example, fall doesn't necessarily mean pumpkin ale. Lots of good breweries here, just a bit different style-wise than the PNW. And the culture isn't quite as pervasive.

...cheap ice for sale at Wildhorse...
They have ice for sale at the general store, too, but if I wanted to spend all my time carrying around bags of ice or playing pinochle all fucking day... yeah, I'd stay at Wildhorse.

Ah I see. Last time we were down there we went to Pizza Port, Ale Smith and Stone. All three of those were super tasty. We also hit up Hamiltons (beer bar). Not sure what will happen this time around but I am looking forward to it.

Didn't hit quite as many good breweries this time in San Diego. Wasn't a huge fan of Coronado Brewing. Karl Strauss is not favorite either. Ballast Point was pretty delicious though. I would go back there fo sho.
Blind Lady Ale House is worth going to if you are in the area
